For more detail of ingredient used for pet food, you can google. I just roughly explain here.
I dont listen to pet shop/ sales ppl marketing, they will say this food is premium, this is super premium.

Example, screen shot below is from happy cat website.
Happy cat atlantic salmon.
Ingredient list for a product, is listed according to the amount (weight) used.
Look out for the first 5 ingredient.

1. Poultry protein.
This is the new term they use to make it sound better/nicer to consumer. Protein can be obtained from many parts of living things, including hair/ feathers.
Yes wild predator animals eat this, eg cat swallow whole bird / rat, but these are cheap/ by products of food production.
Happy cat atlantict salmon is Not cheap as supermarket brand.

So actual fact this could be just rendered by products.

2. Poultry fat
Again they get it from multi source, which is cheaper.

3. Salmon meal.
Ok. Single source,

4. Rice flour
5. Maize flour
6. Corn.
Maize = corn, both is the same thing. Means corn and more corn.

7. Meat meal.
Unknown source. Meat can be pork, horse, etc etc.
The supplier dont have to tell them what it is.
A very cheap ingredient.

8.Potato flakes
9. Cellulose - fibre
10. Haemoglobin
= blood
11. Beet pulp - fibre



Atlantic Salmon = name of product.
Could be the rice + corn + corn is more than salmon already.

Made in germany? I did not check the packaging to see if they put the address of the company or factory.
Could not find any german address on the website - means it is questionable.

Why hide??

Alot of EU  pet food sold here, you will only find ' made in EU ' on the packaging, they dont have to state the country or the address of the factory.
Royal canin is one example.

wono no good? i hvnt look @ their ingredient list.

actually all depend on your budget.. how much you wana spend? n also the kitten appetite, if choosy type, hard to satisfy.

misha, i think put last in ur list.
cos i saw they use weaved sack to pack the large packs.
that is not a good way to produce pet food.
just wana save cost only. same as power cat.

royal canin food, doesnt use the better ingredient, too expensive, but very popular cos most cat even the fussy ones will eat it. so if kitten is fussy, try rc.

i search wono, they dont even hv a website running, just fb.
so it could be made in usa, but it is not sold in the usa.

probably local/ regional brand, contract factory in usa to produce it. ship food in bulk and repack locally in msia.

how they ship the food in bulk is also a point to consider for those that wana scrutinize the details. cos shipping+ packing increases/reduce cost.
Cincai pack n ship in bulk, will reduce the quality/ contaminate the food.

Imported food tht is sold worldwide is packed in the manufacturing factory. The expensive ones are totally sealed to prevent contamination.

to be cont. cat is wailing...

where do you buy instinct in msia?

looking @ the list, sure is very expensive.
it is grain free level, and hv plenty of meat source.

if compare to wono is like night and day, i dont hv to write further as u can see for yourself.

*******

oh ok available @ plc.

plc these days import more of these expensive food. i seldom visit, thts y tak tau.. lol...

almost like acana, think it is more expensive since sold by plc.

happen to pass by plc, so went in to have alook.

saw this small bag of instinct 2.2kg?
thts super expensive..  wow lol..

thing is i noticed on both side of the bags, there r plenty of
small perforation.
this is purposely done during packaging, to release trapped air.

to me, this is totally unacceptable, bcos outside air can easily go inside the bag as well.
for this super expensive priced food.

can accept if its power cat or misha.. but this instinct...
plenty of other brands can do perfect vacuum pack, saw the hk based cindy recipe..
